The reason for my comment was not because of the issues being argued, it was because of: All of these silly conversations and arguments are starting to make me stupid like the people who post them.
That is the same type of generalization as saying only blacks are criminal. Anyway, I was wrong to post that and I apologise.
Now, two other comments:
Who's fault is it that SA (or the rest of africa) is in this mess? Educated people? Hmm sure, educated people have a large role to play. But this is very complicated. A lot of educated people exploit the uneducated masses through clever rhetoric and false promises. There just isn't enough time in a day to go into that issue. My point is, being uneducated does not mean you automatically abdicate your humanity, dignity and common sense. It is STILL your responsibility to be righteous and humane.
I am an African. I love the place. The diversity of cultures, scenery, plant and wild life makes it an astounding place to be. If you get the chance, go there. Not just South Africa, but all the rest too: Tanzania, Kenya, Zambia, Namibia etc. You might want to stay away from Zimbabwe right now though ;) As Alexa, I look at Africa and all I feel is sad. Some countries are doing very well actually. Stable economies, politicians that actually take their jobs seriously and LEAD the populations. But the rest ... sigh.
Ahhhh Abu,
